As Sales Manager and head of Guildford Custom, Michael Noble has, through builds and bikes sales, a wealth of experience in Dark Custom customisation. His “obsession” for Harley-Davidson motorcycles started in his teens when his father bought a Harley– that first sweet experience is always a lasting one – and also led Michael into employment, working with ‘Milwaukee metal’ and riding too! 2017 saw Michael cover 1800 miles around Europe in eight days on his 1977 Shovelhead chopper.

The Petrali Racer is homage to Joe “Smokin’ Joe” Petrali, a Harley-Davidson motorcycle racing great from the mid-twenties to late 1930s. He won 49 AMA national championship races, a record that stood for 55 years.

Together with Master Tech Neil Blandford, Guildford has nailed the modern-take on a 1935 dirt/flat track racer. Be it from the fabricated 2-1 stainless exhaust or the matt finish Art Deco Harley paint scheme infused with modern touches such as micro LED indicators, the package draws attention.
